Crossed Roads

Renee’s thread got me thinking and apparently got quite a few others too. I was recently in a car with an elderly lady driver. She had me so concern when she tried to acknowledge while maneuvering the bend. I almost thought to suggest she forget the thank you but ... << MORE >>

Snow Storms

She was so quick to accept he thought she knew him. He wanted to learn more about her but hardly got past her profile quote so as usually he called on me. I gave him special rates because of the quantity but regrettably, I am not always able to ... << MORE >>

Happy Birthday Content Eternally

Today is a special prayer of Thank you for the many gifts of friends and family. I owe most of my personal strengths to the people who surround me. I walk with confidence knowing that if I should stumble, I will be picked up, that if I should tire, ... << MORE >>

Feeling Optimistic Today

All the talk about TGIF like the rest of the week doesn’t exist. I believe that people shorten their weeks my focusing on one time of the week. If you look forward for Mondays only the rest of the week might slip you by and before you know it ... << MORE >>

Are You In Love With Me

Not many of us ever get the chance to be in love. We love the ones we are with but we can live with them for years without being in love with them. How do we know the difference? When the romantic writers speck of being in love, they ... << MORE >>

The Rainbow

I just saw a FB friend of a friend and she used a beautiful quotation of rainbows in her profile. The rainbow in its own strength is a beautiful and wondrous sight. The Bible tells us it is a sign that the Lord will never again flood the earth ... << MORE >>

Devo To Go

It’s about time this technology start working in a positive way. More ipods and telephones should be the source of positive inspiration rather than inspiring our kids to believe more and more in this virtual world and become indifferent to what is around them. Unfortunately we are learning too ... << MORE >>

Follow The Bible

I had hoped to write and submit something special for this worthy cause. You see, for years I had been advocating that a church or organization should do something similar. May be I could have been that someone, but great to know, it has already been done, started I ... << MORE >>

Happy Birthday Big Look

Just reconnected with and old friend on FaceBook and can scarcely believe the numbers of year that have passed. I saw that his kids have grown and are themselves now of age. Wow! And he was grey. Imagine, Bruce that had such jet black hair back then now had ... << MORE >>

If You Can Dream It..

International Day For Women

There is great celebration in my heart today and this is largely because it is that time of year I get to think of all the women pass and present who have done great things to shape individuals and communities. I was recently introduced to a religion that recognizes ... << MORE >>

International Women’s Day

I didn’t even know that some countries treat International Woman’s Day as a holiday. I think women should be recognized for the contribution they make especially in a world that treats them as unequally. Even in the most democratic country, the USA, women still have problem being paid equal ... << MORE >>

Lily Pond

When I studied Ecology I fell in love with the concept of perfect balance. I even saw how it was possible to have a fish live in a completely sealed container, this amazed me but it makes perfect sense. The thing about a good healthy relationship is the more ... << MORE >>

The Winds Go By

Any day will present itself in a way that is generally out of your control. I write this and I remember the many movies with rain dancers who through their songs ware able to influence the weather. The fact is, who ever has contact with the Lord Almighty can ... << MORE >>

Happy Birthday Sis

A short but earnest wish that my sister has a really happy birthday today. Like many of my friends, she has been very scarce although this has not been her fault. The geography has created the difficulty of hearing each other, but thanks to technology, I hope we can ... << MORE >>

Five Zero

Not at all, this guy can’t pass for 50 years, the big Five Zero, he hardly looks a day over 30. It is so hard that this strong and spirited guy is this old. He has demonstrated how to live. The last time I saw him he was showing ... << MORE >>

Cut And Dry Guy

Ossie Moore is a man of few talents and carpentry wasn’t one. When I heard that Ossie worked as a carpenter on the corner house that was being built in the neighborhood, indeed I was surprised. But of course as the story continued, more became familiar

She Fainted At Home

Was Your Day Okay

My friend is such a good faith companion yet when she thinks of time up ahead; I sense a greater preparedness for the worst. Some people peek to the back of the book to learn how it ends to avoid any emotional trauma and suspense. And there are those ... << MORE >>

First Prayer Warrior

In remembrance of a shining light that guide3 the way for thousands directly and through her children. Eulees Verona Farley was the mother of 10 children, one of whom died as a baby and another who passed away just recently as an adult. Many of those who came into ... << MORE >>

Ignoratia Juris Non Excusat

There is an unwritten law that people should observe, one that gives no rewards for immoral behavior but rather punishes with public exposure and assures disgrace. We put people in prison for miscellaneous crimes that are often as trivial as stealing a package of biscuits yet families are disrupted ... << MORE >>

Happy Birthday Rihanna

She is a Daughter of our soil, a student from my Alma Mater and I share the glory of her successes. Still, I like others grow concerned that she can easily be hurt by the troubles of stardom. So, yes, ... << MORE >>

The Dead Duck Cost A Buck

This Ossie Moore joke was only told to me late in life. Most Ossie Moore jokes are passed from house to house, kid to kid and then they stop when you get into your mid-teens. In fact, I don’t think we had any Ossie Moore jokes to share when ... << MORE >>

Father Are You Here

It took a while before Blacks were able to drive on the same buses as whites and even longer for them to sit dispersed in the bus amongst the Whites. Rosa Parks was popularized for the position she took by not getting out of her seat to give it ... << MORE >>

Our Valentine’s Night

Cockadoodle Doo

The Promise Of Love

Last year I wrote an acrostic for Valentine’s that referenced the Adam and Eve story. I know, we don’t see this as a Valentine’s story, in fact we never think of it as a love story but it was the first love story and this year I continue with ... << MORE >>

Happy Valentine's To All

Are we too caught up with red when others are in the red? When red flows in the streets and when there is no abating the suffering. How can we feel comfortable spending so much unnecessary money as a measure of our love when love is an expression of ... AĴĈ쭰ƈ蹸Ĺ.asp<< MORE >>

The Ear Conditioning

Was I hearing right or do my ear need conditioning. I don’t believe that this is what they do; Taxi men charging an extra if you use the air-conditioning. Well what next? It seems to me that they will soon be calculating how much brake fluid is used going ... << MORE >>

So You Are The Media
